Your ad works in one language. A German version usually means a new creator, a studio session, or subtitles under a voice viewers don't understand.
1UploadDrop in the ad file: MP4, MOV and other common formats, up to 512 MB and 30 minutes.
2ChoosePick German, German (Austria) or German (Switzerland), then Basic or High Quality lip-sync (GoSync 3.0), or none.
3Review the scriptRead the German next to the original. On paid plans, edit any line, switch du or Sie and shorten the hook before it's voiced.
4DownloadDownload the German file and upload it to Meta, TikTok or YouTube yourself.
The free test dubs about 15 seconds of your clip, at reduced quality. You can read its script; edits apply on a paid plan, where you can also unlock a test and re-run it on the full video. GeckoDub doesn't publish to ad platforms, and text burned into the picture stays in the original language.

Upload the clip you think will break it: fast talking, music underneath, a hand near the face. Your 2 free test translations can use HQ lip-sync.
Same clip, product held in front of the mouth. Left: other AI dubbing. Right: GeckoDub.
Real ads have products, mics and head turns in front of the mouth. That's where most lip-sync breaks. GeckoDub is built for these shots.
GeckoDub doesn’t create an AI avatar or a new video. It keeps your real footage, your products exactly as they are, and your real speaker with their own voice, cloned. Only the mouth is re-synced to the new language. That’s why it looks natural: it’s still your ad.
The German dub uses a clone of the speaker's own voice. Get the speaker's permission before you clone their voice and face.
Not if you mark them "do not translate" in the Brand Kit glossary. You can also set a fixed German wording for set phrases.
About the Brand KitAdd animated German subtitles in your brand fonts and colors. The file keeps your resolution and framing.
Animated subtitlesGerman often moves the verb to the end of a clause, so a word-for-word hook lands late. English "you" also hides the choice between du and Sie.
Script editing is part of the paid plans. In the free test you see the same review step, but your edits aren’t applied.

Each option sets the voice. Your 2 free test translations can be one clip into German and German (Austria), so you can hear both voices before you buy media.
For Germany, and a sensible default if you run one version across all three countries. It uses a Germany voice.
An Austrian voice, for an Austrian store or an Austrian campaign.
A voice for German-speaking Switzerland. There is no separate Swiss German dialect option.
Whichever option you pick, check spelling and regional words in the script editor and edit them on a paid plan: Swiss writing uses "ss" where Germany writes "ß", and Austria says "Jänner" for January.
There is no separate option for these markets. Pick the nearest option and have a native speaker read the script.
German uses a decimal comma (19,99 €) and writes dates as 24.12. Check how prices and dates read in the script before the voice says them.
If you also run in Switzerland and the original names a euro price, change it to francs in the Swiss script. Swiss prices are usually written CHF 19.90, with a decimal point.
